This Week's Topic: We All Make Mistakes

We all make mistakes, that's what make up human. What gives us character is how we recover from these mistakes, how we learn to change our attitudes and behaviors so these mistakes don't happen a second and third time. Life is a learning experience, we aren't born with all the answers, this takes time, study and yes, learning from our mistakes. So move forward, don't be afraid to make mistakes, just keep learning so you have the experience and wisdom to not repeat them.

This Week's Topic: Great First dates

I remember well the intimidating first date approach. What to wear, where to go, what to do? How to end the night: handshake or kiss? When to call after the first date: right away, the next day, three days later? The nervousness, the questioning or common friends and family members to see if you did OK on the date. The pressure of now knowing if she still likes you after that first date, especially if something went wrong. Yes, been there, done that.... I hope you'll learn from this week's selection of articles all the ways to make that first date great!

This Week's Topic: Going Straight for the Heart

I've had the run of the flu and a touch of a cold… good things germs aren't electronic!

But I'm feeling much better now and it's time to get back into the business of dating.

Because it's my hope that the advice I have for you, about dating and reviews of online dating services, helps you to find the love of your life.

Watching the places people go online to find love is, in many ways, a lot of fun. I always get to see new places and new faces, always to view and play with the latest of technologies. And I get to read the best dating and relationship advice that would otherwise be buried under a mountain of unintelligible excerpts.

So read on, my friend, I have a lot to share with you this week.

This Week's Topic: Dating The Best

This is a tough topic because people automatically assume that I'm going to talk about how to date a "10" or a "hunk of a guy". I'm not. I want to talk about others dating you because you are the most important person in any dating equation. If you expect to date Mr. Wonderful or Ms. Fantastic you need to also be at that level. The effort you put into being the best you can will only bring to you the best in other people. Work hard, not just at your job but at yourself too. The rewards are immeasurable. This week's articles detail some of the stumbling blocks we can run into and how to avoid or overcome them. Have a great week!

August 18 2009

This Week's Topic: Who Taught You How To Date?

We all have been shown how to date by something, or someone. Maybe it was an older sibling, maybe by the example of your parents, whatever it might have been, what of they were totally, 100% wrong? Could the frustrations you feel about not meeting a desirable mate have to do with how you've been misinformed about what to look for and how to treat a partner? This week we look at some things you definitely need to know about the opposite sex. Have a great week!

August 4 2009

This Week's Topic: Do Again or Do Over?

We all reach the point of our life when we take stock of where we've been, where we are and where we're going. I hate to be the bearer of bad (or good) news but the time for this introspection for you is now. What in your past would you do over if you could, or do again given the chance? You are here because you are searching for something to hold onto. Maybe a change in your single/attached status has woken you up to the possibilities now before you and your investigation of your next steps has begun. Maybe you need help with a current or new relationship. No matter, you're in the right place. This week's articles will help you explore relationships and lead you to a new place, a better place, maybe even a new you.

This Week's Topic: Do You Feel Lucky?

Internet dating is a numbers game. The more services you’re a member of, the more people see you, the luckier you will be of getting dates and meeting great people. And I know, I met my sweetheart 11 years ago and will be married 10 years this September. Online dating works! And if you still don’t believe, well, here you are. Of more than 100 million websites, of all the places you could be, you’re here, reading the reviews and advice I have to share with you. I’d say you are getting luckier by the minute!

July 18 2009

This Week's Topic: Are you happy with the person in the mirror?

You might not know it, yet, but you're in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time, to make the right move forward with your life. Don't pretend that you're too busy, that you aren't ready to do it, because I know that you are. This is a multi-step process, this moving forward. One step at a time and you'll find yourself, suddenly, in another place with someone that loves you, and you will be overtaken with joy. You remember joy, don’t you? That feeling of complete freedom and connectedness with your environment? It's yours to be had again. Finding someone special online is as simple as posting your profile at the right dating service, at the right time, and promoting yourself above all others to be that perfect match with someone that is looking for someone just like you. I am happy that you will be starting this journey with me. I am willing to help all that I can. Your ship has come in!

July 7 2009

This Week's Topic: Are you happy with the person in the mirror?

Ultimately, we have to be happy with ourselves, or our lives will be a hard ride. When you find that plateau where you are satisfied with the things you have done, with the person you are, you have achieved true happiness. aLoveLinksPlus is happy to be a part of that journey. This week's articles feature a variety of paths to increasing your personal happiness and finding that happiness in others. With hundreds of dating service reviews I am certain that you will find the right place to meet that special someone.

This week's Topic: Are You A Stranger To Love?

Lately has it been a hard battle for you to get a date? Have you been meeting no one of interest, no one that sparks your attraction? Did you ever think that it's you and not them? One of the hardest things for people to understand about themselves is that they're not all that and other people don't see in them what they themselves expect people to see. Call it pride, even arrogance, but being the social creatures that we are, it's hard to understand why someone wouldn't want us. So this week let's open that black door and find things out about ourselves that we can change to make ourselves more appealing, and become date candy for everyone that sees us from now on. These are simple changes, from clothes to attitude, we can make adjustments that make ourselves more appealing, more relationship worthy and more attractively worn.

This Week: How To Date Successfully

Have you been preparing yourself to meet 'The One' or have you been wasting your time with whoever is with you at the moment? This week I bring to you the best dating advice that has ever been written. I want you to read and study it. Find out for yourself what the tools are to date better (I do supply hints for you) and be able to create a lasting relationship with that special someone. because I want you to be able to say to me in 12 months time, 'Thanks Rob, you turned my dating life around'.

This week: Surviving the dating drought

We've all been there... the place where dating no longer seems possible, not because of anything you've done but it's just that all the girls (or guys) worth dating are either hooked up already or gone. And that's a hard place to be. But there is hope... you can return to the dating paradise you remember. The secret is... I mean, all you have to do is... really, don't lower your standards, raise them up! You've been looking for dates in all the usual places and been letting the hotties (or hunks) escape you because you are not where they are! So let's move dating forward by moving ourselves to where the great dates are. If you're not sure where that is, this week's Dating Advice Central articles will help you figure it out.

This week's topic: Steps To Improving Your Dating Success

Just as a warm loaf of bread in the house settles our mood to being nice, relaxed and conversational, so will this week's dating advice articles help to calm you and figure out why so much time is being wasted on people that really don't fit your lifestyle and why you're having such a hard time finding that Special Person.

April 19 2009

This week's Topic: Making Right Dating Choices

Everyone has gone through hard dating times, meeting the wrong person, again and again, makes it easy to decide to just stop dating. But what if you could get lessons about meeting and dating people that helped you to meet the right person, and get off the singles merry-go-round?

April 15 2009

This Week's Topic: Are you a great catch?

Everyone thinks they're great. If we didn't think that about ourselves we'd be really in trouble, right? So this week I want you to think what there is about yourself that does make you a great catch. And if you need improvement in some areas, like wardrobe, hair style, employment, maybe even where you live.

Take our "Self-Esteem" test here and find out if you're doing as well as you should.

March 31 2009

This Week's Topic: Don't Be An April Fool

Look forward to the prospects of what is coming towards you, of the people that are searching for you, of the hands held out hoping to touch yours. The biggest disappointment with online dating is finding out the summons lie to you in their profile. These little white lies cause major disappointments. It's easy to be very attracted to someone through e-mail, and very disappointed when you meet them in person. I urge you to be as truthful and as honest as he can be to yourself in your search for love. Have a great week!

March 23 2009

This Week's Topic: Are You Interesting Enough?

People that are interesting have more of a "fan base" (people that are interested in them, than wall flowers do. It's not really all that surprising, is it?
So put away your baseball cards and the collection of "The Moth's of Deepest Africa" National Geographic you hold most dear and let's work on "interesting".
You will probably be surprised to know that interesting people have mastered the 5 W's - What, Where, Who, When Why - and can start and continue any conversation of almost any subject.
So keep the 5 W's in mind and craft questions using them around the conversations you are a part of this week. You'll be really interesting and a new window of your life will be opened.

[March 16 2009]

This Week's Topic: Being Your Best

There is not ever a more attractive person than when you're at your best. Take your grad picture off your online profile and post a picture of yourself that you had taken today. Dress up, look sharp, and watch the emails pour in. People want to see not only the real you, but the best you there is. The only person you let down is yourself when you're into at your nest and this week we look into this topic in the "Advice Dating Central" articles. Have a great week!

[March 4 2009]

This Week's Topic: Accenting The Natural You

Dating is a lot like sales: you have to have the right product at the right time at the right price/value to make the deal.
If you're a wonderful person, how do you project that inner value?
If you are funny, witty, charming, can you brings these traits out at the right time to make attraction work for you?
In this week's Advice Central Articles we explore these questions and find the answers! 

[February 24 2009]

This Week's Topic: Hot & Cold Games

One of the hardest things to do in the beginning of dating someone is to figure out how much you really like them, or if you even do like them. What happens from this is called "Playing Hot and Cold Games". Maybe you mean to play hard to get or maybe you're just scared of getting into a hot and heavy relationship. Whichever it is, you need to be able to identify when you're stuck into these games, whether you're the one controlling the hot and cold games, or if you're the one trying to not get caught in these games. This week's advice articles will help you with working your relationship through these things and move forward... or end it before there's too much involvement that leads to possible heartache. Have a great week.

[February 18 2009]

This Week's Topic: Your Power Within

I have received letters from college students and PHD candidates, from single moms to company presidents and they have all asked the same question: Where can I find a quality person to spend my life with? My answer to all of them, and to you, is to use what you know and make the changes you need to make, to turn 180 degrees from the single's direction you're going in to the relationship person you want to be. Whether this means finding better ways to post your online profile to taking night classes to improve your position in life, self-improvement has to come first, a new, excellent and loving relationship later. This week we look at ways of self-improvement and what it takes to attract a quality date. The information is here, the work is up to you.

[February 10 2009]

This Week's Topic: Happy Valentine's Day Week!

During the run-up to Valentine's Day it's a time for a lot of love and a little fear for the Valentine Givers. Ahh, the romance of a first love, or a love long remembered. During this week online dating services see their biggest membership increase and with good reason: so many singles, in their rushed lives, turn to the Internet to save time, and money, in the search for The One. And they just might find YOU, if you're in the right place at the right time, and being here is a great first step! Read our dating service reviews, read our dating advice, get a head start on love! Have a great week.

[January 26 2009]

This Week's Topic: Being Found Online

Although online dating serves millions of people each and every day, do you reap the benefits of having an online profile? If you're not writing a dazzling headline, if your self-profile reads like the instructions to brewing tea, you are not going to be found as a suitable date for anyone (except for maybe one of your grandmother's tea party guests!). So let's read a word from the wise, spruce up those headlines, add some interesting tidbits to those profiles... make someone really, REALLY want to email you and maybe even meet you in person. Heck, the only thing you have to lose is watching an episode of American Idol, and for that there's always Tivo! Have a great week.

[December 17 2008]

This Week's Topic: Happy Holidays!

This time of year brings out the best in people... and also changes.
Did you know that the holidays are the most popular time for a guy to propose to his girlfriend? And that Christmas is also one of the most popular times of the year for a divorce petition to be sprung on a married person?
Changes... I am of the mind that change is good, that you can work through your troubles, that you can find the inner strength to continue, even if right now you think you can't.
Singles face particular challenges of self-confidence, self-esteem and being alone. But, with millions of potential new friends to be found online you need to set some goals, you need to make the changes necessary to your life to become "attractive, interesting and loved".
I am happy you're visiting aLoveLinksPlus.com, whether looking for a great new dating service to join or seeking advice for a particular issue that you need help with.
Stay with us over the holidays and have a brighter New Year. 

[December 3 2008]

This Week's Topic: The First Level of Online Dating

You've posted your profile and now you're just waiting for responses. But are you ready to handle these initial introductions? The first level of online dating is the safest way to check out your potential date and even to encourage them to continue contacting you or to let them know that you aren't interested in them. To pass this test you must accomplish three things before sending a wink, a smile, or replying to an email. 1. Read their profile completely and prepare three personal questions to ask them that is relevant to you. 2. Do an online search of their username and see if there is anything posted. 3. Be ready to wait for a couple of days to reply just so you can see if the person is in a hurry to meet and sends up any red flags.

[November 26 2008]

This week's Topic: Economics of Dating

Now, with all the economic troubles we have been hearing about all these past months, we have to remember our dating life. If we think of our life as a dollar in the bank, we also must keep remembering to keep the interest rising on the investment (our life and time). Dating involves time and money, but the ‘interest’ that we get back on these investments of time and money should always be in your favor, should always be adding to your account. Are you meeting the right people that add ‘interest’ to your life? This week we take a look at several ways to add value to your life, to build up your personal account. Happy reading!

[November 10 2008]

This week's Topic: Courage is Your Word

I think that, more often than not, people choose to be followers rather than leaders. And this is because they haven’t been exercising their “Courage” all that much. Maybe it’s gotten a little rusty, or maybe just too heavy to wear after years of disuse, so, rather than wear our courage we become followers, letting others make the decisions that affect our life.
Well, this week, I want you to wear your Courage proudly.
Show it off to people in your actions this week. Take the lead, make a stand, become a little louder, a lot more “Courageous” in talking to people, starting and continuing conversations with that one who’s been in your eye lately.
Make your “Courageous” move this week in an email, in your replies to personal ads… make your future one filled with “Courage”!

[November 3 2008]

This week's topic: Communication Breakdown!

While I have the latest Rolling Stones album screaming in my office, blocking out all other noise it came to me that this is a real issue for a lot of people… their heads are so full of shyness, low self-confidence and just plain old bad habits around the opposite sex that it’s time to get to the nuts of the matter, so to speak. When, not if, WHEN you have something to say, say it. When, again not if but WHEN you want to meet someone stand up, walk towards them and say “Hi, my name is Rob and I’m going to be your stalker for the evening”, well, maybe not stalker, but you get the idea. You have to DO to be considered an object of desire. You have to ACT to make yourself attractive and interesting. The song is over…. Rock on! 

[October 21 2008]

This week's topic: Get Lost!

Now, before you take offense, I must say that ‘Get Lost’ refers to your own personal well being. Confused, maybe not. But confusion is a part of being lost. And to ‘get lost’ I mean that you should break out of your usual schedule. Take a different route to work. Try a different coffee shop for that morning’s jolt of caffeine. Get Lost in a way that will allow you to see things in a new light.
Life changes before your eyes when you have new light around you, comforting you towards your goals.
Find your new light, your new life:
Get Lost! 

[October 14 2008]

This week's topic: Putting It All Together

Over the past weeks and months we’ve gone into detail of creating a great online dating ad, right from the standard profile information you should share to how to send that first email and how to reply to the messages you receive.

Now it’s time for you to put it all together and get the great dates you so much deserve. Take that all important first step and get involved with your dating service of choice.

You should now have the words and the looks to make your future brighter.

[October 7 2008]

This week's topic: Reaching Your Goals

It’s better to shoot for the stars and land in the mud than aim for the mud and make it.
Are you sure to lose on the attempts you make to have a dating partner in your life?
Do you use intention to reach your goals, a type of inner-compass that guides you forward or are you not making any efforts at all to find the right match in your life?
He that seeks will find, she that does not seek will not find or be found.
Failure cannot rule your life and the threat of failure should only be accepted as an adrenaline inducing moment and a guide towards your goals.

Start living as if all you do is a great experience, not a slip-and-slide form one moment to the next.

Identify your goals, write them down, check every day, every hour, that you are making progress towards what it is that you aspire to.

Live your life to its fullest by stretching yourself to the very best you can be.
You will reach your goals.

[October 2 2008]

This week's topic: Prime Starts

The main action of people that use online dating is to find out how well someone else comes close to being your ideal partner. What I want you to do is reverse this thinking: start by showing the world, and all the daters that come across your online profile, how great you are! Take another critical look at your own profile. Does it need a better picture? Do you need to pump up your profile with a catchier headline? Stories of the fun things you do? More information about your hobbies, your work, your pets?

So, let's start over and this time PRIME ourselves for great new STARTS and make it easier for that great person who should be in your life to find you and be attracted to you through your profile.  

[September 15 2008]

This week's topic: Moving Forward

Moving forward can take many forms, many steps. But this week let's look at the positive changes we can make in our dating lives to add some excitement to our every day life. This can be as simple as taking a different route home. My favorite way, of course, is to join new websites and find new people to chat to, you never know if you'll come across that special someone! 

[September 2 2008]

This week's topic: Yearning or Learning

A dating service is an investment in your future. Just as a car is an investment (you want to get from A to B safely and reliably), just as a home is an investment (you want to stay warm and dry), just as your job is an investment (you can only take home what you earn), using online dating services is a serious effort to complete your life, expand your social circle and maybe just simply making new friends. aLoveLinksPlus.com is here to help guide you to the reward of your investment.
The advice articles featured are tools to help guide you to the completion of your social center; to that completeness you find in the comfort of another. I know, from personal experience, what a blessing and an excited change it is to have a special someone in your life.
I invite you to put to use what you read here and online at www.aLoveLinksPlus.com and associated sites (the article authors home webs). It's not just change, it's putting to use what you have the opportunity to learn, to end that yearning, to fill that void, to march into the future with that special someone. I wish for you the love that exists in my home, that I share with my bride Sheila, as we are soon to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary.

[August 26 2008]

This week's topic: Dating Availability

We all have very busy lives. Without a doubt at some point during the week we all wish for a couple of extra hours to get everything done that we want done. And this "busy-ness" costs us in the availability we have for friends and family, as well as making life harder to meet people that are interesting enough and attractive enough to want to date. At least online dating helps to pare down the losers from the winners to some degree before we commit essential time into meeting them for a coffee or a first date. How do you make yourself "dating available"? I suggest starting a list at the beginning of the week to account for your time for chores and duties, and then make sure you have some "my time" to spend meeting people or at least surfing profiles. After all, the people you meet will have an effect on the rest of your life. You owe it to yourself to share some of that time right now.

[August 19 2008]

This week's topic: Change for the Better

There are two types of change: positive and negative.

Positive change are the things we have to work for: a positive outlook on life, a bubbly personality, a more hygienic person… these are things we have t work on and it can be a constant battle.

The other type of change, negative, takes no effort whatsoever. Just sit there, don't move, don't think about what will happen next, lose all control of your future. That is negative change. It happens all the time. And without any effort.

Positive change is what we are discussing this week. Creating the better life that we deserve does take effort but no one will say that the effort is wasted.

What I want you to do is write down a list of the things you want in life: better job, romantic relationship, more interesting friends, etc., and then decide how to make these dreams a reality.

Better job: requires more education, work conscientiousness at your current job;

Romantic relationship: requires an effort of personality change, working towards your ideal mate;

More interesting friends: requires more interests of your own to be realized, maybe different hobbies, social night classes (cooking anyone?), even taking a different route home from work or school, stopping at a new coffee shop, a new restaurant.

Change for the better is within your reach… so stretch out your arm and reach for your dreams, with some changes for the better they will be realized.

Have a great week!

[August 12 2008]

This Week's Topic: Are You Ready For What's Next?

There is a truth that is common for all of us: nothing stays the same. And there is a truth that is also true for all of us, love can surprise you. And on this note I want to help you to be prepared for what is next. You are already on the road to finding love. Reading plenty of advice articles? Check. Looking for great online dating services to join? Check.

Now that you've started it's time to fine-tune your game. And that means being prepared 100% of the time to meet that special someone.

Because life and love, will surprise you, so be ready to accept love when it comes a-calling.

[July 22 2008]

This Week's Topic: Rejection

The one aspect that often is a great huge stumbling block to many people dating is the fear of rejection.

"Hi, would you like to go with me to…" and she says "No."

Ouch, that hurts. It really stings. But there is a positive side to rejection in that it's a learning experience. It's just too bad that we can't later ask the person to complete a "Personality and Compatibility Survey" and try to understand what our actual mistake was for getting that big rejection and sunken stomach feeling. But maybe you can… if you have the person's email there is a possibility of getting a reply after a few days and the pain has subsided. Where do we go wring more often? We assume too much. Either that the person we are interested in has similar likes and dislikes (while they might be very compatible maybe it just wasn't the right time to ask them), or they don't. Maybe they like the clothes you wear, or they think you're 70's funk is just a tad much.

I hope that you have a friend or two that you can get an honest answer from about the rejections you've been suffering (yes, dating is a hurting game) and be able to move forward with your life and romantic/dating potential.

Don't get off the dating train, find the advice (which aLoveLinksPlus.com has plenty of) to help you win at love.
I know you can do it, now get out there and prove me right!

[July 9 2008]

This Week's Topic: Success At Online Dating

Being successful using online dating services does not depend on how you are dressed, your education, your looks (somewhat), your income (depending on service), the food you eat or even if you haven't had a shower in days. While these values will make a difference on a real date, online dating has distinct advantages of helping you to find and meet interesting people that you would like to meet in person without worrying if you smell, if your makeup is perfect, etc.

Browsing and searching through hundreds (thousands) of personal ads may not seem a great way to spend an evening or a few minutes of downtime at work, but it sure beats watching TV reruns or playing the same video games and the rewards of your persistent searching and sending winks, hellos kisses and other introductory messages and emails is a fun way to meet people that you otherwise wouldn't meet in your day to day routine.

And you just might find "the One". I know I did and I know that if you take online dating seriously, if you put the proper amount of effort into your quest, you will find your "One" too.

This Week's Topic: Stop Doubting Yourself

Self doubt is one of the most crippling thoughts that stop us from accomplishing the goals and getting the things that we want out of life. When you are interrupted by your inner voice saying that you can't do something, that you should have been dumped, passed over or ignored, simply because you are you – then it's time to get a new inner voice. And a new outlook of confidence that can be infectious throughout all aspects of your life. Self doubt needs to be conquered by self help and sometimes counseling. Now that we have reached the halfway mark of the year you should take stock of what you have accomplished over the last six months. Are you where you want to be in life? Can you identify where you could improve? Are your goals being realized or are they still far from coming to fruition? Help is only a click away. And no matter what you hear inside your head, you can do reach your goals because you are good enough!
